The room was very nice, clean and spacious as was the bathroom, only downside was the thickness of the walls as you could hear both neighbours quite clearly whether in conversation or having a bath!Collapse

Stayed for one night for my husbands birthday. Booked the restaurant for the evening, our dinner was superb. As it was midweek I wondered if the full al a cart menu would be available, it was and was excellent.
Breakfast was self service, full English everything available and kept restocked. Plenty of fresh fruit and cereal.
The staff here are very helpful and courteous. The hotel is spotless and very welcoming.
This hotel has own parking and 8 minute walk to high street. So very convenient.
Canterbury has a lot of History and lovely shopping, so lots of interesting places to visit.Collapse

Stayed for 2 nights, dated decor but clean & tidy enough with helpful staff, spot on for a 3 star. Please don't use the restaurant in the evening though how on earth they were awarded an AA rosette I will never know, it was awful!!

A strikingly stunning building ideally located for those exploring Canterbury.
The building has a quaint feel to it. Has plenty of character. Welcomes dogs.
Efficient and effective service throughout our stay.
Foods wise we only had breakfast. A buffet affair, but orders for alternatives were available. I can say the kippers were a delight. Fresh fruit platter is always a winner. I can also recommend the sausages and lime juice.
The car parking is the only negative. Small car park and small spaces.Collapse

As with Best Western generally, this hotel has a traditional style, and is all the better for it. If you want the "contemporary" look, you won't like the period feel and decor, but I personally liked it. The staff are very good, breakfast is excellent, the rooms are comfortable, clean and well appointed. Ample free onsite parking despite its location only 15 mins walk from the centre of Canterbury is a big plus. One minor issue is the way the building has been extended may mean a long trail through corridors, up and down short flights of stairs and through multiple fire doors. Easy if you are fit and carrying little or no luggage; a major effort if you have heavy/large bags. But I assume staff would have assisted if I'd asked them. Other than that, it's perfect.Collapse

It was a last minute trip as the one we had planned (to Spain) had to be cancelled as documents were lost days before we were meant to leave... Our disappointment notwithstanding, we enjoyed our time in Canterbury and the hotel was adequately located for us to explore the city. Room was ok, nothing special, but good enough for us. Breakfast not special, but acceptable. Value for money was pretty reasonable, too.Collapse
